While the 12-14 hour days and 6 to 7 days a week was OK for a short while it’s time i faced reality that i probably wont find a mechanic. I may put an apprentice on this year but they won’t be much of a help for at least 12 months.
So I’ve decided to only work 5 days as the body is not liking the hours and the mind is pretty tired as well. If you need something outside of those hours just call Leanne of myself and we’ll work something out.
NickHey Nick,
Life is way too short to be spending that many hours at work :pinch:Even if your lucky enough to be one of the few people passionate about your work its still work :angry:
We only go round once so we all need to spend our time wisely and being chained to the wheel trying to please clients, meet deadlines,be successful does come at a cost.Good to see you have come to your senses and are going to give yourself more time away from work
I know it works for me :laugh: only downside is lack of funds for new toys 😆
Hey atgreg,
Welcome to OBT,I myself am relatively new to the site but have met a few Oldbulls and can say that they are a great crowd
Bet your looking forward to getting the new toy.Nice picture,where is it :unsure:

:blush:Trailboss wrote:Well Pete the Wulf, Crash and myself are heading west at the start of May. We have given ourselves three days to get to Birdsville, will attend the spreading of Tug boat Bill’s ashes and raise a glass. From there we will head to the corner to catch up with a couple of Old Bulls and raise a glass. Then into SA, maybe even Vic and a Hattah crossing before blasting home.
Looking forward to visiting Hungerford, Thargomindah, and Noccundra to mention a few places I have yet to visit. Pete and Crash haven’t been west on the big bikes yet. Crash has the bling new blue Tenere, Pete is itching to go. I can’t wait, again not long ago it seemed an age away. Tonight as I finalised the routes for the three of us and the others going to the Corner I realised it is getting closer fast.
There are 2 months, 13 days, 6 hours, 28 minutes and 58 seconds remaining until we leave and that will go faster than your love for a new KTM :laugh:TB
Why did you have to post this TB,couldnt you have kept it to yourself
Between you and Kat and these fantastic trips you guys seem to frequently go on I cant help feeling hard done by 😆
One day,one day.
Wolfman wrote:Ya Boys… and GAL!! What a cracker of a ride. It is rides like these that I remember why I do this shit. Riding at your own pace with a couple of mates at you side, knowing that strung out in front and behind are “cluster-f@cks”… oops I mean… Clusters or small groups of riders managing their own ride.TB, the NAV ride’s are the future old mate. I don’t care if I never do another corner man ride again after this weekend. Well done mate and hats off to everyone elase who came along. Jim for taking on such a ride for his first big Adventure Ride, Aaron for being Jim’s wingman. Peter Payne and Jason barrett for being part of an Industry that supports this sort of thing and actually “being there”… Amy who is the best Adventure Gal since Annie Oakley. And lastly Chicken for being support as you never know when you are going to need the truck and trailer and I know what it is like to be driving when I could be riding
Can’t wait for the next one and looking forward to catching some of you guys on the Scrapheap.
Wolfy
Too true Steve,couldnt have done it without him.I am certain he must have been stinging to charge a bit harder on the journey,still I know he thoroughly enjoyed the ride and company of some new mates in the OBT ranks.
By the way his name is Erin,I know red hair and a girls name poor buggar :laugh:
A lot of people were calling him that on the trip he usually just goes by the name Ez.
See you soon for tyres.
Cheers James
